February 18th

5 Fun Facts About Emma Claire:

1 - The other day Emma asked for carrots.  I almost fell off of my chair.  Just to be sure we were on the same page, I confirmed with her that she actually wanted to eat the carrots.  She said yes and then I quickly checked the window to be sure a pig wasn't flying by.  She actually ate all of the carrots.  Amen.
2 - Emma has some enviable dance moves.  I have no idea who she gets it from since they certainly didn't come from her parents.
3 - We are still trying to teach her the value of keeping the promises that she makes.  I told her she would be upset if I didn't keep my promises.  She responded by telling me that just because she didn't keep her promises doesn't mean that I can't keep mine.  I didn't know how to respond.
4 -  Emma announced that she likes chocolate (an understatement), but not chocolate sprinkles.  Go figure.
5 - Last night Emma told Lucy (our cat) that she was a "pain in the patootie".  Apparently she learned this phrase from watching My Little Pony. 

Overall Emma is clearly a healthy, funny and smart 5 year old.  We are really proud to be her parents.  Just don't believe her if she makes you any promises :-)
